Alas the leather has failed on the top of the rear back rest and the stitching is opening up. Baked by the sun I guess and a lack of oiling over the years, its a cabby.
Other than recovering, does anyone have any ideas, perhaps there are covers on the market or I could find a used one in good nick (black). Useful comments welcome.
